This may be the real cancel culture. Women are not only supposed to be the fixers in so-called society, but also the fixed in socidety. Rise an inch in good times, shrink in bad times... the incredible shrinking woman, the fixer-up of life and the fixed-in-place by life. But the male internet and its trans troops may be the public face of this ongoing reactionary force you're speaking of--also called the little version of the larger cancel culture.

Honestly with our job prospects dead, we have nothing to lose. Fight back. Stop using their shitty take on things. Don’t change your language. An entire sex class is about to lose their rights. We don’t have time to tip toe around words.

Yup! This is why I left my rant up on dating apps and I shared everything about trans, tavistock, links to images, I did not hold back and other rad fems out in the wild are contacting me there saying they are on spinster and ovarit! I just cannot do this chite anymore! And when I finalize my new business, trans will come for me anyways, because of what I will be doing for a business (which is for females only). May as well put my head on the chopping block now.

Edit: a word

I remember when I was in school for my first degree (which was in medicine, doctoral), when any male approached me for anything and saw my hospital badge, and asked if I was a student, they would ask me "to be a nurse?".

Now, please please please no offense against nurses, but I take offense that there is no way apparently I could have gained a doctoral degree, or more, because I am female--must be a nurse to be working in a hospital, yes?

Feck them. Feck them all to hell they can burn (males).

Wow, that’s so disconcerting. I’m hoping this was a long, long, long time ago but I suspect it wasn’t? I‘ve read a lot about sexism emanating from medicine. Personally my experience has been to assume women doctors more competent due to internal biases I suspect.

I’ve never entertained the thought of a male gynaecologist, fortunately female gynaecologist’s are aplenty here in Melbourne.

Come to think of it, my GP and dermatologist are women. In addition, my husband’s ophthalmologist and optometrist are women - wait there’s more! Our dentist is a woman. Holy crap, should men in medicine be worried? I digress...

I could never understand why some women sought after male ob/gyns (outside of maybe a specialty practice). I nearly had a nervous breakdown having a male urologist put in a catheter for testing a while back. I don't feel like a man I'm not in a sexual relationship with should be near my vagina. I'm such a fucking prude about this.

Totally agree, although now days we have the luxury to choose a female. My sister in law’s obstetrician is a male and when I asked her if she’d be waxed by a male in a salon, she shuddered at the thought, go figure?

Ugh! Those hurt!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry! Those feel like an invasion as it is!

NO, it was not! In fact, my friend who is a Pharmacist, in the very large, liberal city in the US she lives and works in , states it is a common occurrence for the males to refuse to speak to her and demand a male pharmacist, even if it is not for a "male" thing (like Viagra). Then again, I live in the Midwest of the US, which is full of sexist a$$holes, including some of the women (the women are rude AF to other women here).

Addition: I was asking one of my PA friends about this as well, and she said the same. Not just from coworkers, but from patients. The MALES are not treating her well there. I've had a few friends in medical comment about their mistreatment for being a woman.

That really sucks. I admire you and other women in medicine all the more for having to contend with this rubbish, especially in light of the coronavirus disaster.

I just want to go into hiding. Really.

"...Out of workplaces, sports, and politics..."? How about out of SCHOOLS, when parents know it's not safe for even the youngest children to go to school, because their students' restrooms are being invaded by trans-identified middle aged teachers (WITH the full backing of their respective school boards) ? And there's been a [thankfully, very] few cases where young children have been assaulted by fellow students , who are "trans identified" ; sexual acting out is a known sign of previous molestation, but no one seems to care about that any more : Too busy being all "woke" and trans-supportive, I guess, to actually care about vulnerable children. When parents know that at any moment , a teen "trans girl" can demand not only access to the high school girl's restroom and showers, but can demand the cubicle curtains be removed so girls are forced to strip in the public area for his amusement (with the full backing of the school board ...a bunch of middle aged MEN going out of their way to shake the young predator's hand for making his demands). Out of retail stores, because "gender neutral" restrooms and changing rooms mean that any trip out of the home can bring a woman in contact with an entitled, possibly violent autogynephiliac-?

If taken to their "logical" conclusions/extremes, we're right back in the middle of the 19th century, in which women can go work only at the very few low paying, low prestige jobs men don't want ; where any trip to the market has to be carefully planned to avoid a need to use the restroom, and where on paper domestic violence is illegal , while divorce is legal : But how many women can afford to have their husbands arrested and prosecuted or their marriages ended, if women no longer have access to work which will actually allow them to make enough to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table? If companies are encouraged to hire "women" who will never menstruate, get pregnant, give birth, nurse...A world in which our mere survival is contingent on finding A Man (any man) to support us.

This is happening. This is by design.

Yes this, along with the rise of the alt-right, is their last tantrum. We're not going back boyos - YOU need to raise your game.

Everywhere where there is money and power, they want to displace women, and push women (And girls) into domestic servitude and sex work. This is why men support them (aside from the fact these TW are also men).

trans people aren't even 0.1% of the population. don't let your insecurities run wild. if someone is forcing you out of a job, it's probably just a regular guy.
